Dear Friends,If you had life to live over again, what books would you read again – knowing what you know now? What books have been the most enjoyable, the most helpful and the most influential to you? If your house were burning down and you could only save a few books, which ones would you snatch from the fire? If the government out-lawed Christianity and you had to hide a few precious books which were the most valuable to you, which ones would you hide? My list is below. I do not regret buying these books nor taking the time to read them.

Okay … I’ve not read every word of Harold Fowler on Matthew, nor every word of James McKnight’s commentary. Yet I find myself going to these works over and over and rarely am I disappointed. Even if I don’t agree, they cause me to stop and ponder – a good thing. Okay … three of them are DVDs. They’re worth watching though, so I included them.

I would be interested in seeing your list. If and when you have the time, share your list with me.

I am often asked by brethren for recommendations for books to begin building their library around. So, I have put together a list of books covering a wide variety of subjects that provide what I believe to be a solid foundation for studying the Bible. Hopefully in the future we will add similar lists compiled by different preaching brethren for your consideration.

If you need any help finding any of these books for purchase, check out our book store or feel free to contact me.
